Kevin, I initially was rigging something up with a small agm in the passenger footwell against the firewall, but didn't like it and placed a full size agm battery behind passenger seat in front of toolbox. The passenger seat does not slide all the way back, but far enough to give ok legroom for me and I'm about 5"11. It took about 8-9 ft of battery cable, but it works. Battery is inside the cabin, but it's a sealed agm for now so I think it should be okay. I'm not at any sanctioned track events yet.
I just ordered a Odyssey pc680 and going to likely mount it exactly like you, behind the passenger seat... or possibly underneath it, if it'll fit. I've heard mixed reviews about the PC680, but figured i'd give it a shot anyways.
Driver's manifold modified. I originally did the passenger side in 2.25" but this is 2.5" with a ball and socket flange. I'm going to pull out the passenger side and re-do it. It'll be a tight fit, but I should be able to get it fitted. may just get a v-band flange for the other side actually. Need to order up bends for the rest of the exhaust and also need to get welding gas, I ran out. going to get these ceramic coated when I get a chance too.

New brake line bent
New front fender. It needs a little bit of body work, but virtually no rust.

Rubber shift boot installed
Dash is back in.
Driver's brake reinstalled
Upper Radiator hose

I wouldn't say they are indestructible. I had the same thing as calpoly-z happen. I went to tighten lugs on the rear passenger side and the whole strut assembly came down. The rubber tore apart with a fairly minimal amount of torque.

started it...

Thanks, Me too....
JTR Intake piping done. Just need filter and a couple more clamps.
PCM mounted.
Fuse block mounted up on the pedal box.
Passenger manifold mocked up. Needs to be full welded still. Bascially just chopped off the flange and welded on an extension. Waiting for drivers manifold to ship in... its going to get some similar cutting done. Already made new passenger front brake line that will go along the top to the frame rail. Rear brake line will just be bent out of the way of the exhaust

Looks like the manifolds in the in first post are custom....
Full build thread for it though...

Engine going back in after bolting up transmission
Shifter placement couldn't have been better. This was kind of lucky since i never mocked up the engine with my mounts with a t56.
Alternator mounted and clearance looks good.
Bolted radiator in. Upper hose is going to be close. Might just try and chop up f-body hose and splice it.
Lower hose fits perfectly

Recessed box all welded up and some primer on it. still need to weld the tube for the filler neck in place.
New hatch deck welded in. Welding still in progress.

I'm just in Plano and working on a ls1/t56 swap. I had a sbc previously.
My problem is I got distracted doing 100 hundred other things the car needed.
Need to get my engine bay painted and should be dropping motor in the car within a month.
-
I just realized you live in plano.. we should go for a spin sometime.
If I ever get this thing back on the road, definitely. lol.

Well... its been a while....
Started working on the car a little bit after work each day this past week.
I have pretty much all the big fab work for the fuel tank install and fuel filler relocation done. Basically just a bunch of welding and some grinding left.
Small box I made to recess the fuel filler cap behind the license plate.
Piece of exhaust tubing cut to act as tunnel for the fuel filler to pass through and keep it all separated from the interior.
This is the filler tube coming up from the tank.
New sheet metal to cover the top of the fuel tank up.

I'd imagine the threaded potion in the rail is a NPT size.
Most likely 3/8" NPT.

x2 to what Tibby said...
Keep an eye on craigslist for a setup. I picked up my Lincoln sp-135+ with a cart, helmet, and empty 125cuft gas cylinder for $350.
